At the foot of canal street - Treme (HBO TV Serie)

John Boutté, Glen David Andrews, Paul Sanchez, New Birth Brass Band

Taken from Treme , Episode 4, Season 1 (HBO TV Serie)

Lyrics:
Don't waste you time being angry
when a moment's better with a smile
if you feel you're time's been wasted
waste it here a while
standing at that bus stop just across from Krausse
waiting for the driver
to take me to my heavenly house

chorus
I'll see you there at the foot of Canal Street
what will you wear at the foot of canal street
will the band be playing at the foot of Canal Street
what will the people be saying at the foot of Canal Street

does your father lie there does your mother pray there
I'm going to put on my golden crown
At the foot of Canal Street

verse
when the levee banks have over flowed
and the street car has seen it's day
when all is gone the plantations
the Treme' and the Vieux Carre'
I'll be swinging to that music
way up on higher ground
where Pops is blowing "Walk On"
with Gabriel making sacred sounds

chorus
I'll see you there at the foot of Canal Street
what will you wear at the foot of canal street
will the band be playing at the foot of Canal Street
what will the people be saying at the foot of Canal Street

does your father lie there does your mother pray there
I'm going to put on my golden crown
at the foot of Canal Street

A true joy to appear in this scene with my dear friend John Boutte. I am so grateful to the folks from Treme for what they are doing to help the musicians and the people of New Orleans.

@paulsanchezmusic Oh my lord, I'm so glad for your post, the composer... :D It's a great great song man, listening to you (and your friend John Boutte too) makes me really happy, I hope I be able to visit your land soon so I can see you in a live concert

I love this rendition! Boutte and the silvery brass sound like angels opening, with the pomp of ominous drums in the background, and then the excitement begins and GDA croons joyfully like Grover with a music degree.

Pure bliss!! Thank you from Norway!

If they took out all the story out of Treme, I'd still watch it for the music and culture.

What an outstanding performance.
